Date of Defense 1989-07-15 Availability restricted AbstractTechnical factors, such as engineering and medical
approaches, and non-technical factors, such as education and
community participation, were evaluated with regard to how
they affect water and sanitation programs. Benefits and
limitations of each factor were assessed to determine which
limitations significantly impact the effectiveness of
programs. With this appreciation of technical and nontechnical
factors, case studies of control methods of
different diseases were evaluated. This led to recommendations
of appropriate mixes of technical and non-technical
services for disease control. This evaluation was utilized
to develop a planning approach to effectively integrate
interagency efforts for the control of multiple diseases.
